Hey all,

I'm starting a project to host a really nice, user-friendly, easy to use Git learning materials website for Git newbies to get new users started and make it as easy to learn as possible. I'll be redoing or editing some of my screencasts from gitcasts.com and starting an open book at github and putting it all in one place for new users to get started easily. Anyone will be free to submit changes, additions, etc.

If anyone has any tips on how they think git should be taught, issues they are asked a lot, problems newbies tend to have, something they wish there were a screencast for or was better documented, etc - please do contact me so I can incorporate it. I would contribute to git itself, but my C-foo is seriously wanting, so if by teaching people properly I can free up some time for you guys, I would love to do so.

Please let me know if you have any pointers or think anything should really be better documented for end-users. I plan to do a lot of graphics, screencasts and whatever else makes it as simple as possible.

Thanks, and thanks again for git.
